We manually fire the controller to check static water pressure, flag blown heads, and use tracking equipment to locate root-choked valves.
We present a flat-rate cost for the necessary repairs, detailing the exact Hunter, Rain Bird, or Toro components required for the terrain.
We cut the turf cleanly and dig carefully around mature tree roots to replace the damaged PVC or components without killing your landscaping.
We set your smart controller to the DWU even/odd schedule, verify rain sensor functionality, and adjust the arc of every nozzle to prevent street runoff.
The Redbird neighborhood presents two distinct mechanical challenges: extreme water pressure and rolling elevation. The area is serviced by the Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) “Red Bird High” pump station and elevated tank grid. This infrastructure creates high static water pressure that frequently blows the caps off aging sprinkler heads and forces water out as a fine mist that blows away in the wind rather than soaking into the soil. We resolve this by installing Pressure Regulated Stems (PRS) and master pressure regulators to drop the PSI to optimal operating levels. Additionally, unlike the flat plains of North Dallas, Redbird features rolling hills and sloped lawns. When standard sprinkler heads shut off on a sloped yard, gravity pulls all the water remaining in the underground pipes out through the lowest head—a process called “low-head drainage.” We eliminate this pooling by installing check valves on all downhill heads. Finally, as Redbird is within Dallas city limits, we calibrate every controller to comply with DWU’s strict twice-weekly watering schedule and 10 AM to 6 PM daytime watering ban, keeping you entirely code-compliant.
Many contractors simply swap out a broken sprinkler head with a standard replacement, only to have the high static pressure of the Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) Red Bird High grid blow the cap off weeks later. We diagnose the root pressure issue and install heavy-duty, 30 PSI or 40 PSI pressure-regulated stems (PRS) to permanently stabilize the zone.
Redbird’s unique rolling hills cause severe low-head drainage—where water continually leaks onto sidewalks long after the system shuts down. We isolate these zones and upgrade them with specialized check valves capable of holding back up to 10 feet of elevated water column pressure.
As a TCEQ-licensed firm (#LI0029325), we ensure your system meets every facet of the City of Dallas water conservation ordinances. From mounting mandatory, code-compliant rain/freeze sensors to programming smart controllers that lock out watering between 10 AM and 6 PM, we safeguard your landscape while insulating you from municipal water citations.
